yesterday on the 30 th of July and today, its very stormy and
the harbour was torrent.. it didn't the fishermen, I can tell
you. The anglers were everywhere and that is very healthy...
The colours of storm are greys so what can you do? What is wrong
with greys anyway? :) I fixed these to make more contrast but
believe me, it was DARK and full of atmosphere as the huge front
was coming through.

The seagulls with no feet will take food out of your hands. So
those poor creatures get more attention and it makes the others
bolder.

The Dutch were the first Europeans to discover Australia, not
Captain Cook… The Western side was discovered first by Dutch
explorers being blown off course on their way to the Indies for
spices.

“Rottnest Island is located 18 km off the coast of Western
Australia, near Fremantle. It is called Wadjemup by the Noongar
people, meaning "place across the water". The island is 11
kilometres long, and 4.5 kilometres at its widest point with a
total land area of 19 km². It is classified as an A Class
Reserve and is managed by the Rottnest Island Authority. No
private ownership of land is allowed. It is antipodal to the
island of Bermuda.
The Western Australian vernacular diminutive is "Rotto", or
"Rottnest". It has been an important local holiday destination
for over 50 years”

In his 1681 chart the English captain John Daniel marked what he
had named as Maiden's Isle. That name did not survive, however.
The island was given the name "Rattenest" (meaning "rat's nest"
in the Dutch language) by the Dutch fleet captain Willem de
Vlamingh on 29 December 1696. De Vlamingh described the
indigenous marsupial, called a quokka, as a large rat.[7]
European exploration and settlement
The island was observed by various Dutch sailors from 1610,
including Frederick de Houtman in 1619.[citation needed] The
first Europeans to land on the island were 13 Dutch sailors
including Abraham Leeman from the Waeckende Boey who landed near
Bathurst Point on 19 March 1658 while their ship was careened
nearby. The ship had sailed from Batavia in search of survivors
of the missing Vergulde Draeck which was later found wrecked 80
km north near present day Ledge Point. Samuel Volkersenn, the
skipper of the Waeckende Boey described the island in his
journal:

I was down at Fremantle harbour on the weekend taking shots and
sc'T kindly reminded me of our pristine water conditions so I
thought I would share them with you as well...

this is the middle of winter in Fremantle.. and look, no live
sheep trade sheep ships...
oh yes and I made a mistake and left the H out of wharf.... but
don't look at that bit... I’m too lazy to fix it. Blame the
slowness of photobucket for that.
This is the beautiful, beautiful Indian Ocean at Fremantle’s
Port Beach…..

River...

I especially dig the night and the sunset shots...
If I wanted a decent night pic I’d probably have to go all the
way to Vancouver to get one. The only urban surrounding In my
vicinity is Edmonton, a very bland looking town that only has
around twelve different shades of brown and grey to work with...
